Gemma Arterton has won us all over by tackling sexism in the film industry in style.

Talking to The Guardian, the actress didn't hold back on her views about what it's like to be a women in the business, and how she doesn't care what people think of her.

"It's easier to conform and shut up. That's the way it's always been with women. Easier than putting yourself out there and having an opinion, to which someone might retaliate," Arterton outlined.

"I'm sure there are people who don't want to work with me because they think I'm difficult - 'one of those feminist girls' - but to be honest with you, I don't want to work with them.

"A revolution is happening, but in its own quiet English way, because people work f**king hard, and it's hard to live, and everyone's had enough of being f**ked over. Look at Philip Green - people are angry at the moment, and now they're being encouraged to pipe up."

Arterton will next be seen in zombie thriller The Girl with All the Gifts and she has compared it to Brexit.

The adaptation of Mike Carey's 2014 bestseller of the same name is set in a world where humanity has been all-but destroyed by a fungal disease that turns its victims into flesh-eating "hungries".

Last week, Glenn Close said she thinks The Girl with All the Gifts is "more of a character-driven thriller" than a zombie film, actually. You can make up your own mind when it's released in UK cinemas this Friday (September 23).
